Fake Trope Example Maker

In any episode of RPG Hero Academy featuring a dungeon crawl, Reina Safiras is almost guaranteed to be killed off early in the expedition. However, it being an RPG Mechanics 'Verse, Death Is a Slap on the Wrist.

Expy: Alanna of Trebond

Edited by Kahran042 on Mar 27th 2024 at 1:34:59 PM

Noel Boone from Huzzah! is a snarky, redheaded Magic Knight who often serves as King Holloway's personal bodyguard. She originally disguised herself as a man in order to become a knight, a charade she kept up for almost two years before finding out that the military's gender restrictions had been lifted for decades.

• The main cast in Dig In Your Heels (a Crack Fic about a bunch of WWE wrestlers trying to make a living as petty crooks) solidly fit this trope, just replace "Four-Man" with "Four-Person":
  • The Generic Guy: Sheamus. He's the most grounded and level-headed of the crew, and the one most likely to point out when they're being stupid (no Fiery Redhead, he). As soon as something goes wrong, expect him to say Screw This, I'm Out of Here! and try dodging the fallout.
  • The Smart Guy: Dakota Kai. She earned multiple degrees in university, and she's not afraid to show off about it. Attempts to convince her to do something silly, like wear a Pirate Parrot on her shoulder, will be met with sarcasm ("Oh, yeah. I'll just pop down the pet shop, ask 'em to sell me a kakapo. Ya know, those big green parrots from my home country. Weigh about 2 kilograms. I'll look a right Charlie with one of those on me shoulder, won't I?"). On the other hand, once she thinks a plan of hers can't possibly go wrong, she becomes genuinely thrown off if it does.
  • The Casanova Wannabe: Nikki Cross. Nikki is unashamedly sex-obsessed, and thinks American men will drop everything for her once they hear her sweet Scottish accent. The problem is, in addition to her not being all there mentally, she always sabotages her chances by eating fried cat food, which in turn makes her burp and put men off once they smell her breath. Also, because she's a Violent Glaswegian, she will respond to rejection and/or being beaten to the punch with violence, which makes her double as a Psycho Party Member.
  • The Butt-Monkey: Dominik Mysterio. Being younger than the other crew members, he's treated with a lot of condescension and neglect. His frequent attempts at boosting his ego up end with them shutting him down like the Dirty Coward he is, and on a trivial note, they like pretending his name's Tom and asking him where his twin brother Nick is. Every time a plan fails, Dom gets all the blame for it.

Threatening Shark

Comet: Among the game's enemies are sharks, which are found in the underwater stages of Palm Plaza. There are also stronger, faster variations in Cosmic Citadel.

Esoteric Happy Ending

Edited by Oggy123 on Mar 28th 2024 at 8:45:43 PM

Animated Shock Comedy Western Animation/ Fergusson loves this trope. As long as everything goes well for Fergusson, it's treated as a happy ending. The grand finale where he gets smooshed by a train is treated as a Played Straight Happy Ending.

In The Zombies Take on Los Angeles, Alice and Bob are seen fighting a group of zombies, with Alice decapitating them with an axe and Bob shooting them in the brain with a gun.

Every cop in the sitcom Morgan And Morgan is shown to be always failing to arrest the main criminal duo. Even if the two don on Paper-Thin Disguises, they still certainly always fail for them.

Heroic Comedic Sociopath: Deconstructed

• In Tacti-kobold, The protagonist (and the viewpoint character) is an kobold who joined the Kingdom's millitary for the sheer thrill of murder. While his insane, civillian-killing behavior is usually played for laughs, as soon as Cerebus Syndrome begins to kicks in, it becomes increasingly clear that it's only comedic precisely because we're seeing things from his warped perspective. All this culminates in his court-martial and dishonorable discharge, which causes the story to take a full Genre Shift to a horror story and him to drop the comedian schtick and began plotting revenge against those who "unjustly" kicked him out (who, in his own mind, has done nothing wrong) of the Kingdom's army.

Battle Couple

Edited by Cordite-455 on Mar 29th 2024 at 1:17:06 AM

• Since Ava Raine Bringer takes place in a Fantasy AU of the WWE, a few real-life and Kayfabe wrestling couples show up as warriors fighting together. Seth Rollins wistfully describes how he first met his future wife Becky Lynch in a battle with the kingdoms of Illinois and Ireland on one side, and a horde of marauding ogres on the other. He specifically cites how "gracefully" Becky cut off an ogre's arm, then its head, with her bladed noose. Other battle couples who play equally prominent roles in the story are Triple H and Stephanie McMahon (the Big Goods and joint leaders of the Raw Alliance), Ava's Badass Teacher Nikki Cross and her husband King Damien Mackle, and at least one Battle Throuple in the form of Rhea Ripley the werecrocodile and her two fiances Prince Dominik Mysterio and King Buddy Murphy. One couple featuring two wrestlers who never interacted in the ring or out of it are Chyna and Ava's Cool Uncle Umaga, who, after dozens of chapters of Ship Tease, finally cement their Relationship Upgrade by fighting back-to-back against the forces of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin (who killed Umaga's older brother Rikishi), rounding it off with him throwing Austin onto a spear planted in the ground, and her snapping Austin's neck with a direct blow from her morningstar. Immediately afterwards, they celebrate by having a Big Damn Kiss in the battlefield.

Our Manticores Are Spinier

Pokemon Biology and Chemistry: Drakhan, a distant relative of the Pyroar family, is a Fire/Poison type lion cub with a purple scorpion tail. Its evolved form, Mendraghur, has a blood red mane and large, bat-like wings. Records show that it devours its prey without leaving a single trace, its stomach acids able to even dissolve bones! Mendraghur's signature move, Spikes of Accord, is a multi-hit move where it flings the spikes on its tail at a target.

In the collectathon platformer Kip the Cat, Kip and his fairy sidekick Twinkle, at one point, has to give a gorilla some bananas to get him to give information for a Fairy Star.

Expy: Cirno

Edited by Oggy123 on Mar 29th 2024 at 11:34:17 PM

Cerise from After Getting Run Over By a Delivery Truck, I Woke Up as King of the Amazons is a diminutive, petulant ice fairy in the guise of a six-year-old girl in a blue and white dress, who absolutely despises having her intellect questioned. She's something of a Sidekick Creature Nuisance to the human Prince, Leandross.

In Time And Again, despite it taking place in the distant future in a secular community, Jesus is occasionally mentioned as appearing in movies the protagonist watches and they think that he seemed to be an awesome dude. They even say, “What Would Jesus Do?” at one point.

Wimp Fight

Edited by J99908 on Mar 29th 2024 at 11:59:59 AM

In Wimps fighting the protagonists get into an altercation with one another at some point and despite the fact that they've been gaining combat knowledge they resort to just slapping in each other's direction

Lesbian Vampire

A cheesy B-Movie seen in Film/ The Creature from the Back of Jim's Fridge is titled "Vampire Sex Goddess of Lesbos." We see the videotape's box on Jim's coffee table, and it features a sexy vampire lady wearing... well, not wearing, and on-screen, she's passionately kissing one of her female victims so she can bite her tongue. It's at this point, Jim is attacked by the Creature from the Back of His Fridge, and the TV goes flying.

In Horsing Around, the Four Horsewomen (who are in a polyamorous relationship in this Crack Fic) get a hold of the Warrior comic, and think they'll suffer from less Mind Screw if they smoke some weed before reading it. Some goes at the puff bar later, and half an hour reading, and no, they still don't understand it. And then, they find out that they haven't even been smoking weed at all- the bong's full of oregano herbs instead (which begs the question of how they got stoned in the first place). After they get bored and leave, Matt Riddle shows up and starts reading it himself- and for bonus Irony points, he's not stoned at all, and he thoroughly enjoys it!

Lovable Lizard

This trope has been heavily used in Little Legacy

The game spends the first two thirds of its story building up towards the final confrontation between the protagonists and the Prosperity League, an alliance formed by the most powerful dragons in all of Mars. But when the Squad actualy arrives towards their HQ, and take out all of the mooks, they eventualy face the leader of the entire organization.

Lyon

Whom is actualy a tiny scaly Kobold with a french accent, big baby doll eyes and a generous helping of social anxiety. The previous segment of the game goes into heavy details explaining as to why the Prosperity League destroyed Pluto, in the form of subtle environmental storytelling, without spoiling too much, the game manages to make Lyon way more affable in his goals. And the player even gets to have a heart to heart with Lyon before the final showdown. The game manages to hit the sweet spot as in making Lyon sympathetic enough to feel sorry for him, and stil poses him as a genuine threat that has to be dealt with.

Justice by Other Legal Means

In Dig In Your Heels, the All Elite Police Department resort to this tactic to bring Eddie Guerrero- who, in this Crack Fic, is still alive and a notorious cartel drug merchant- to justice. Because Eddie is legally allowed to grow and sell cannabis plants, they can't arrest him under those charges. What they do have legal authority to arrest him for is driving an expensive car without a license, and doing shopping runs for other people, only to keep the food he buys for himself- said other criminals, by the way, include Samoan capo Roman Reigns, who's none too happy about his daughter being robbed of her birthday snacks. As he's being escorted off to the police station, Eddie openly laments being such a Stupid Crook as to get himself arrested for entirely different crimes.

Sewer Gator

Edited by Sammael29 on Mar 31st 2024 at 2:38:52 AM

The B-Movie Hellbenders 2005 (not to be confused with either Hellbender or Hellbenders) is about giant mutant salamanders and are not this trope, but they do evoke this trope by appearing in both sewers and storm drain tunnels as well as other tubes, not to mention a few of them have elongated snouts like a gator. Finallt, some of the characters do bring up this trope and acknowledge how implausible it really is.

Edited by generation81 on Mar 31st 2024 at 12:43:40 PM

Early on in Pokemon Biology and Chemistry, the player investigates the appearance of a Mindelic Krokorok lurking in the Scientia City sewers — an odd occurrence, as Mindel's Krokorok population prefers to live in places where they can bask in sunlight. Why the Krokorok is in the sewers varies between versions, both explanations serving as a way to introduce each game's main group of antagonists.

• In Biology, the Cumulus Foundation planted the Krokorok in the sewers as an act of protest against Pokemon and humans living together in big cities.
• In Chemistry, the Krokorok escaped a research facility after having a violent allergic reaction to an experimental "rejuvenation serum" being worked on by the Cirrus Corporation.

In Dungeon Shop Simulator, the player can do business with various adventurers looking to clear out the Dungeon. Each adventurer is a full character in and of themselves, having their own unique stories to tell as you sell your wares to them.

In the indie flop Web Video Their Flag Is A Leaf, by the duo behind the Youtube channel Liver And Death, revolves around a 14 year old Highschooler on her way to school, allthewhile experiencing exclusively Canadian shenanigans. Like a maple syrup avalanche, you know, typical Canadian friday morning stuff.

The video is a part of a shortlived project called Mono Type.

A handful of poorly 2D-animated short movies that tried to supposedly exagerate common stereotypes revolving around certain countries, and point out how these are all ridicolous and have nothing to do with the real world.

Every Polish teenager is a femboy

Germans will die an agonizing death if someone lets them wait for more than 2 miliseconds

All citicenz of Spain are extroverts

And so on and so forth.

The project was ultiamtely canceled for attracting the wrong crowd.

A couple more notoriously Canadian hijinks in Their Flag Is A Leaf include, but are most certainly not limited to:

A police officer patroling the streets while riding a moose, paired with two bobbleheads attached to the Moose's respective antlers.

The entire city being completely encased in ice

And of course, who could forget, a group of delinquents playing Hockey in the middle of the street.

Freudian Excuse

• Ava Raine Bringer: The Raw Alliance have been suspicious that the reason Lord Heenan has been making such headway in his war against them is that his accomplice Lord Ted Dibiase has bought out one of their own members to act as an informant. Following a brutal defeat, they finally discover the traitor to actually be Baron Paul Heyman. Disgusted and furious at his actions, the Alliance confronts Heyman for siding with Lord Heenan, and he defiantly replies that through thirty years of service to the Alliance, he's always received less respect or repayment for his actions than he feels he's deserved, and Heenan and DiBiase offered Heyman the chance to finally gain that respect by sitting beside them when they take over America together. However, seeing as Heyman's latest treachery has cost the lives of both Hulk Hogan and Rikishi, two much-loved members of the Alliance, they make it perfectly clear that none of that perceived disrespect justifies him selling them out like that, and the only reason Umaga and The Usos don't strangle him on the spot for getting their brother/father (respectively) killed is that Viscountess Stephanie wants him to face a proper execution as punishment for treason.

The Catfish

Edited by Sammael29 on Apr 4th 2024 at 1:09:15 AM

a small discrepancy.: There is an optional side quest that is obtained by reading through a book listing different legends in the Luminous Library, one of them being the legend of the Magnum Aqua. Story wise, it doesn't have much significance, however catching it is a major feat for those who want to 100% the game.

Dual Boss

Edited by coemedypink on Mar 31st 2024 at 11:49:22 PM

Headspace: Chapter 6's boss, Terror Eater, fights alongside its "consort" Welded Meat-pile. In a game full of rather tough bosses, this one in particular stands out as one of the few downright painful ones: They must be finished off in the same turn, or one will revive the another (at one fifth of max HP, but still painful) - and either of them is more than strong enough to wear down your party over time. Even worse, once you do manage to destroy them, it fuses with one another and becomes Flesh Eater, which gets 2 moves per turn and deals more damage than both of them combined. (At least now it dies much quicker.)

Darkspire Chronicles: Two of Baron Darkspire's cheif servants are Reina, a Cambion preistess who dresses as a shrine maiden, and Melissa, a peasant girl with a small talent for magic who asked the Baron to teach her in order for her to get revenge on the people who wronged her. Reina and Melissa get along surprisingly well, even if Reina can't help but tease Melissa about her deficiencies in both magic and other areas on occasion. Reina is Brilliant, but Lazy, relying on the dæmonic half of her heritage to shore up and dweomers in her spells that she can't be arsed to memorize (and revels in the chaos it brings), while Melissa is Weak, but Skilled and painstakingly studies and experiments with each and every spell she learns.
